Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : O Shaykh, what is the meaning of the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Al-Qiyamah 75:29]?
The Shaykh : Yes, read the one before it.
The questioner : Yes
The Shaykh : Read the verse before it.
The questioner :[Al-Qiyamah 75:26] .
The Shaykh : Yes, continue.
The questioner :[Al-Qiyamah 75:27-29] .
The Shaykh : Yes,[Al-Qiyamah 75:30] the leg is the leg of the foot [Al-Qiyamah 75:29] meaning that one part joined to the other, to remind the human being that this leg which he now walks and runs with will come a day when some of it wraps around some of it so that it does not move. Is that clear? It is also possible that the meaning is [Al-Qiyamah 75:29] meaning that the hardships accumulated, because the word "leg" is used for severity, but the first meaning is more eloquent and greater in depicting the state of the human being when his soul reaches the throat and it is asked who will read, and he is certain that he is parting, and his leg is joined to the other leg. This is more severe and more eloquent in warning and reminding of this state. We ask Allah to cause us and you to die upon Islam. Yes.
And the leg is wound about the leg,
وَالْتَفَّتِ السَّاقُ بِالسَّاقِThe Shaykh : Yes, read the one before it.

The Shaykh : Read the verse before it.
The questioner :
No! When the soul has reached the collar bones
كَلَّا إِذَا بَلَغَتِ التَّرَاقِيَThe Shaykh : Yes, continue.
The questioner :
(27) And it is said, "Who will cure [him]?" (28) And the dying one is certain that it is the [time of] separation (29) And the leg is wound about the leg,
وَقِيلَ مَنْ رَاقٍ * وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ الْفِرَاقُ * وَالْتَفَّتِ السَّاقُ بِالسَّاقِThe Shaykh : Yes,
